Funeral Home Frenzy

Another one for the book of "Funny Things Tucker Says": Driving to preschool today, Tucker started chanting excitedly, "We're going to pass the funeral home!" He was right; we were moments from passing it, it sits on the same road as his school. It's a place he's asked me about several times, and I've never understood the fascination. It looks pretty much like a house, set back from the road across a wide front lawn. It's one of several similar, unassuming houses along the road, but something has made it stand out for him.

It's probably weird for a 3 year old to even know what a funeral home is, right? But I was at a loss as to how to answer his question, "Mommy, what is that place?" a few months back. So, as you do, I did the best I could to be truthful and age-appropriate and probably ended up making no sense at all.

I just felt compelled to leave a comment here based on a comment you left over at Catherine Newman's blog. I would totally suggest The Art of Simple Food over any of Alice Waters other cookbooks. I've checked them all out from the library at one time or another and the other books just have a bunch of unattainable ingredients (for me anyway). The Art of Simple Food focuses on learning individual techniques that allow you to cook a bunch of different recipes.

Just my 2 cents, in case you win the giveaway. :)
